.......Hell and Damn.........Last Day & Blog of 2011 and Nuthin' To Say

Horrors! I guess I will have to finish off the year with something old and familiar because I cannot summon the Muse.......lots of stuff going on, some good, some bad, but I can't organize my thoughts at all right now, so bear with me, folks.

I am still shlepping along (and that's a good thing) so the odds are fair that you will get some decent blogs out of me in the new year. just no goodies to wind up the old one.

I must say I am grateful for having made it through another one and am looking forward to doing it again and wishing you all the same.

Meanwhile, in tribute to my old friend, Dorothy, who taught me most of the dirty words I know, let me just say,

"Shit, Piss, Fuck"

to all of the Bad Guys and the Bad Things That Happen.

May the new year give none of us any cause to utter that beloved phrase in anything but triumph.

Yes Lo, getting the thoughts jostled into the right places gets harder doesn't it, I often say that I am going to get a small pad and pencil to hang around my neck, that way I will know what I am doing next. lol.

Last year was a tough one for you with decisions and your op but hopefully 2012 will be better. As you say one year at a time.

Thanks for the nice comment on my blog, but I only do what comes naturally so don't feel that I really deserve such. Now, if it was math it would be a different story, numbers are not my forte.... I guess we are all good at something and I am lucky in finding mine, some people never do or don't get the opportunity to try things out.

Last year held some real bummers for you,,So I am sending wishes to you, with all my heart, for a Happy, Healthy, New Year. It is so good to see you writing your blog! I was a bit worried for a while. Worries gone, nothing but positive things for 2012 !!

About Me

Maverick of a weird, but wonderful family. Have managed to stay alive for an astounding 86+ years kept alive by a passionate interest in many things and a sense of humor.
Have led 2 or 3 separate lives,the first 40 years as a starving artist, ceramist, and graphic designer. At age 40 a matchbook cover that said "Be A Computer Programmer" inspired me to go back to school and emerge as a binary fanatic. Loved my work, had a wonderful 20 year career as programmer and trouble shooter. At the same time I had the chance to meet, befriend and marry Jazz Cornetist Pete Daily,an idol of my youth, whom I had worshipped in my young life. Lost him to cancer after 11 wonderful (and sometimes awful) years. Retired in 1989 and had 20 years of fantastic travel adventures all over the world. Now I crochet afghans, tend my garden, my 3 cats, the neighborhood birds and squirrels, a flock of voracious hummingbirds and assorted wildlife like possums and raccoon families who come nightly to my Porch Buffet. A great life, and it ain't over yet !....(after all, I have just discovered Blogging....)
